This is a civilian chart, being that this is the regional section of Airline Pilot forums.
It is a linear relationship. I went from flying a 50 seat RJ to a 149 seat Airbus, and my skills have gone up 3 times over. 50 seats x 3 = 150, so yes the linear relationship works. I am now 3 times better than I was when flying the RJ.
That's a flat out lie...your skills have not gone up flying a much more highly automated aircraft than the CRJ. The airbus takes the pilot out of the equation. The CRJ requires more input from the pilot. I have flown with pilots that came from the airbus to the CRJ and they struggled with even the simplest of tasks. So therefore your statements are incorrect.
